From Monitoring to Feedback: The Evolution of Operational Metrics (into What They Always Should Have Been in the First Place)
David Josephsen, Librato
Monitoring is not a ritual; it is not backups or DR, or keeping our hands and arms in the vehicle at all times. It is not a check-box ceremony we perform to stave off some faceless danger than no one can quite articulate.
Monitoring is part of your engineering process; Every engineer should own it. Every engineer should rely on it. It exists to provide operational telemetry about how the things you care about -- the things we all care about -- are working right now in the real world.
This talk is about how we at Librato have transformed monitoring from an operations burden to an engineering tool that helps us reason about, build, and fix our services-based infrastructure, and about how you can do the same.
David Josephsen, Librato
As the developer evangelist for Librato, Dave Josephsen hacks on tools and documentation, writes about statistics, systems monitoring, alerting, metrics collection and visualization, and generally does anything he can to help engineers and developers close the feedback loop in their systems. He’s written books for Prentice Hall and O’Reilly, speaks Go, C, Python, Perl and a little bit of Spanish and has never lost a game of Calvinball.
